Shownotes Transcript
This is the second of 4 scenarios in which the paramedics care for a patient who has suffered an out-of-hospital arrest. In this second scenario, the paramedics respond to a call where the patient was found unresponsive. Paramedics take over CPR from the family at arrival and decide to continue CPR (and ACLS) en route to the hospital.
